RMIT offers diplomas, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. Courses of diploma programs are best suited to students from community colleges, vocational or technical institutions.

Students must undertake a minimum of 36 credit points and not exceed 48 credit points (equivalent to 30 ECTS or 12 North American Credits check your home institution credit conversion). Dropping below 36 credit points constitutes a breach of your student visa. Diploma courses Course credits are based on the number of contact hours a student is enrolled in. Usually a minimum of 360 contact hours are required per semester for a full-time loading. When selecting courses: Choose up to eight courses on the application form in case some are not available Ensure the selected courses are available in your preferred semester and campus All selected courses should be taught at the same campus (RMIT has three campuses in Melbourne), however due to close proximity, it may be possible to select mixture of courses between Brunswick and City campuses.

Important notes Once your application has been received, if all is correct and you are eligible, your study plan will be forwarded to the relevant academics at RMIT for approval.

While you have been pre-approved for these courses your enrolment will take place during your orientation at RMIT and is subject to timetable availability and any last minute changes.
